Do you think if daVinci were alive today, with all of today's distractions,that he would still find time to be creative?

Similar questions: daVinci alive today today's distractions find time creative.

Oh, my gosh--YES! I think da Vinci would be in his element! I think he would go crazy over what can be done with computers nowadays.

He was a very right brain/left brain kind of guy, so it would seem that he would have a regular field day using the computer both as a research/learning device and a way to create art. Imagine what he would do with digital photography! I think in his day he was a true "Renaissance Man", and dabbled in a little bit of everything, which is more the norm today!

Iwould send him some free paint brushes from the company I work with, and some paint from the paint company I am with...and would email him and tell him about this cool online site to visit for ideas and inspiration known as Askville! What an exciting thing to think about--the possibilities that da Vinci would be presented with, and what he woud do with them! He would for sure be SUPER creative, I am positive, as there are so many more materials to do so now than back when he was crushing minerals and adding oils to make his own paint.

I think he would be ecstatic at the opportunities awaiting him here. *Poppet*'s Recommendations Davinci Jumbo Shells, 12-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) Amazon List Price: $32.00 CC11813 - Da Vinci Flush Mount Ceiling Fixture Da Vinci SUGAR FREE French Vanilla Syrup 750mL with Splenda Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 1 reviews) The Da Vinci Method - Break Out & Express Your Fire Amazon List Price: $24.95 Used from: $16.07 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 (based on 17 reviews) Da Vinci Masterworks Poker Chip Set w/500 Chips w/ Denominations, 2 Decks of Cards, & 5 Poker Dice He'd never have to worry about money...he would get licensing fees for the use of his name and for product endorsements! .

Probably even more creative. While it's true that there are many more distractions, technology has also made it possible to be incredibly creative. Research, production and distribution are all much easier than it was even a hundred years ago.In an ironic twist, rather than dehumnaizing mankind (as predicted in sci-fi of the last century), computers have opened up a world of artistic expression (both good and bad).

Garage bands, writers and artists can all find their audiences on the internet. Besides, someone needs to be producing all of today's distractions.

I think he would, since many of his creations were engineered for military use. While he is famous for his paintings and neat inventions, he also was quite the military thinker in weapons and defense. Imagine what he could come up with these days, not limited by only using wood, stone and candle light..

No. But, it would be due to schools not distractions Leonardo Da Vinci, was the bastard son of an Italian notary and a peasant girl. In modern times his parents might have been an attorney and a waitress who had a one-nighter.

S parents never married. He was cared for by his unwed mother until the age of 5, when she married a man believed to have been violent. He then went to live with his father, who had 2 or 3 wives all of whom died early deaths without children.

Since Leonardo was a bastard he was not allowed to attend university nor did he have any formal education other than to have been taught basic writing and math by the village priest. He actually referred to him self as a man without education. (I am writing this from memory of a book I read about Leonardo, which I have loaned out.) At sometime in Leonardo's childhood his talent and interest in drawing was noticed and he was apprenticed to an artist called Verrocchio.

S talent was nurtured and the rest is of course history. But, what many don't know is that Leonardo was notorious for starting projects, working on them intensely and them just walking away before they were finished. A large portion of his surviving works are in fact unfinished projects.

He may well have had ADD or manic/depression tendencies. The distractions Leonardo's day were drinking, whoring, gambling, fighting, and sports. The distractions today are much the same with the addition of video/computer games.

I think that personalities that can be distracted today or the same personalities that could have been distracted back then. The real difference would have been in the childhood. Today, Leonardo would probably have remained in the custody of his mother and may well have been abused by his step father.

Rather than having his talent noticed early in life and being given the opportunity to apprentice with a master painter. He would have gone to a public school and had the genius ground out of him by endlessly frustrating uninteresting assignments. He may well have been medicated for ADD.

I have noticed from reading many biographies of great men and women, that most of them had favorable childhood experiences that are simply no longer allowed to children today. I seriously doubt that many of histories great artist, thinkers, scientist, and leaders could have been produced by our current child rearing policies.

How many titanic suvivors are still alive today.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
